I'm looking to somehow acquire a copy of the official programme for Hibs 1953 trip to Brazil. I found this page which shows what it looks like https://www.sportsmemories.be/Book.aspx?id=19601
Would greatly appreciate if you have any ideas on where I could find a copy or if you know anyone who might have one for sale. Thanks!

If there’s any man who has this or knows how you may be able to get it then Andy Downie is that man for all things Brazil.
Not quite our man in Havana (although I’m sure he’s probably been) he is/was in Rio or possibly São Paulo although with the COVID madness over there he may have popped back to the UK.
@adowniebrazil also author of Doctor Socrates.
A shame Hibs didn’t play Palmeiras - many parallels between the clubs (started for disenfranchised immigrants)."We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans." Vladimir Romanov - Scotsman 10th December 2012
"Romanov was like a breath of fresh air - laced with cyanide." Me.

Palmeiras looking good for a place in the final of Libertadores tonight. Pumping River Plate in Argentina.
All Brasileiro final with Santos, maybe?

TBH I've not followed much since my father in law - big Palmeirense - passed away last November but he'd see the irony in them winning it just around a the year after he passed :)
His family originally migrated from Verona/Padova so Palestra Italia which then became Palmeiras around the was an obvious choice.
It was interesting listening to his brother speak around his 90th bday about the racism he faced - he laughed said they were called "the polenta-eaters"...
If you or others know Portuguese - you can google on YouTube "A Casamento do Romeu e Juliet" (the marriage of Romeo and Juliet) a modern comedic uptake on Romeo & Juliet with the daughter of the President of Palmeiras falling for the leader of the Corinthian Ultras..."We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans."

If I remember correctly it was around £250, I seriously thought about it but decided I couldn’t justify it Originally Posted by Viva_Palmeiras

I saw this up for auction a year or two ago - not on a football auction site, but a general one (can’t remember the name. ) It was a live auction which only lasted seconds per item, but the bidding rapidly became too rich for me (£100s rather than £1000s!)

It was interesting seeing the stadium decked in the banners, especially having been there.

Brazilian football reminds of old Scottish football - fast with lots of flying tackles but just a bit more skill. Certainly beats the sterile slow football we see in Europe now. Originally Posted by IainA

The Argentinos certainly know how to put the boot in. Originally Posted by FilipinoHibs

The last few minutes of the game were brutal. Retribution was being handed out by both sides. The ref stop blowing for fouls for about 10 minutes Originally Posted by Viva_Palmeiras

Nothing to do with the programme but for anyone interested there’s an article in this quarter’s Nutmeg Magazine on this trip to Brazil. Originally Posted by Michael

Great stuff. I’ve been picking Nutmeg up at my local bookshop in Porty but it’s shut. This is a nice reminder, thanks. Originally Posted by Danderhall Hibs

Arrived this morning. Some read and amazing to think it was the Brazilians who were disappointed in a Hibs side they expected more of but the players were exhausted and the trip was seen as a hardship! Originally Posted by Danderhall Hibs

Great wee story about Bobby Johnstone being asked to persuade Gordon Smith to sign up for one of the Brazilian sides and Garrincha just missing out on making his Botafogo debut v us....
